Grilled Texas Spicy Shrimp

These Grilled Texas Spicy Shrimp are packed with bold flavors from a tangy and spicy marinade, making them perfect for a BBQ, seafood feast, or as an appetizer. The heat from chili powder, cayenne, and other spices blends beautifully with the shrimp’s natural sweetness, all enhanced by a smokey grilled finish.

Ingredients

(Serves 4)

For the Shrimp Marinade:

  • 1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails on or off)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for spice level)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar (optional, balances heat)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

1. Prepare the Marinade

  • In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and sugar (if using).
  • Whisk the ingredients until well combined.

2. Marinate the Shrimp

  • Place the shrimp in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.
  • Pour the marinade over the shrimp and toss to coat evenly.
  • Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 1-2 hours, to allow the shrimp to absorb the flavors.

3. Grill the Shrimp

  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  • Thread the shrimp onto skewers (if using) or place directly on the grill grates, leaving some space between each shrimp.
  • Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink, opaque, and slightly charred. Be careful not to overcook, as shrimp cook very quickly.

4. Serve

  • Once grilled, remove the shrimp from the skewers (if using) and arrange them on a serving platter.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges for an extra burst of citrus.

Tips

  • Adjust the Heat: If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the cayenne pepper or omit it entirely. Alternatively, you can add more if you want more spice!
  • Grilling Tip: To prevent shrimp from falling through the grill grates, use a grill basket or skewer them onto metal or soaked wooden skewers.
  • Side Pairings: Serve with a side of grilled vegetables, rice, or a crisp green salad for a well-rounded meal.

These Grilled Texas Spicy Shrimp are an excellent choice for a smoky, flavorful, and spicy seafood dish that will be a hit at your next cookout or dinner! 🌶🍤🔥
